Well here…we…go…March 9th through 15th at the NerdMelt Showroom at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles promises a bucket full of laughs* and good times with shows like Mike Lawrence’s album recording, Nick Kroll at the Nerdist Writers Panel, the debut of Persona, and more!

The Nerdist Writer’s Panel series is an informal chat moderated by Ben Blacker (co-creator of The Thrilling Adventure Hour; writer for Supah Ninjas and Supernatural, among others) with professional writers about the process and business of writing. Covering TV, film, comic books, music, novels, and any other kind of writing about which you care to hear.

Join us for a chat with Nick Kroll and the writers, producers, and stars of the new Comedy Central hit The Kroll Show!

The line-up is subject to change. And as always, proceeds from the live panels benefit 826LA, the national non-profit tutoring program.

Come watch Matt Mira and Paul Cibis host this comedy free-for-all. You’ll see brand new comics, comics you know and love trying out new material (Chris Hardwick and Kumail Nanjiani are frequent drop ins), and the magic that is live comedy.

What is Harmontown? It’s awesome. It’s unique. It’s one of a kind. It’s something only Dan Harmon (creator of Community and the upcoming Rick and Morty) and Jeff B. Davis (Whose Line is it Anyway) can do. It’s a different show every time and it’s every week. Lucky us! Playing Dungeons and Dragons? It’s happened. Dan Harmon freestyle rapping? Yup, that too. Calling Chevy Chase from stage? Happened…more than once. A celebrity guest? Allison Brie, Donald Glover, and Gillian Jacobs among others have all stopped in. Getting super personal with an intimate audience? Always. It’s Harmontown. It’s awesome. It’s unique. Don’t miss a single week.

ImprovMelt is L.A.’s premiere showcase of the best improvisational groups in the universe at the best comedy venue that happens to be in the back of a comic shop in the universe! Featuring: Mission: Starmission – Improvised Firefly, Doctor Who Live! & Drunkards & Dragons! Produced by Giancarlo Molina and Mo Fathelbab.

After performing to sell out crowds in New York City, Auntie Sara’s Family Hour finally arrives at The Nerdist Showroom at Meltdown Comics!

Jonah Ray and Kumail Nanjiani helm the good ship Meltdown every single Wednesday, to host the show that’s been named one of the best live shows in L.A. by LA Weekly, Splitsider, and more.
